Kilwinning FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Kilwinning?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Do you cover all of Kilwinning?
Yes. We work across Kilwinning and the KA13, KA20 and KA12 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Irvine, Saltcoats and Dalry.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Kilwinning?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. For new lighting, Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Should external lights be on all night?
Not necessarily. Photocells with timers or presence sensors can keep routes lit when people are around and dim or switch off later, saving energy and reducing light spill.
